It has been a while since I have been on here it's good to be back.
So on to the purpose of the post (might seem like a rant sorry ahead of time if it comes off as so)
APX™ series of portable radios:
1. The design of the APX™ series of radios I don't know about anyone else I like the overall design of the portable with the lone exception of being two sided and not the normal one sided I see in my own view that it would be difficult to manipulate the display and keys especially on the model 2.5 and 3.5 radios since most of the time one would assume that you would have it clipped on a belt or in a case.
2.The APX™ XE500 remote speaker microphone is a nice design I like the idea of having a dedicated channel knob. I would like to see a model without the channel knob. The XE500 seems like a sleek and slimmed design as to the APX™ XE and APX™ XP remote speaker microphones.
APX™ series of mobile radios:
1. The APX™ series of mobile radios needs a true all-band radio instead of having to interconnect two radios together with the APX™ dual radio. I believe having a all-band radio in one housing as apposed to the two could help save room and energy.
2. The O9 integrated control head looks nice however is a bit on the bulky side because of the following features
• Integrated full size DTMF keypad
• Large programmable one-touch buttons
• Dedicated siren controls
• Integrated Response Selector
3. The APX™ dual radio is a nice start to a radio with interoperability in mind however having a single option for a control head seems like a bad choice. Having the option of the O3 Hand held control head, O5 Standard control head, or O7 Enhanced control head is not only a good choice but a logical choice.
